try asking your guidance counselor if there are any scholarships available in your school. there are usually scholarship programs for underprivilege students. you can also opt to become a working student. we use to have working students at home.

I would go to the financial aid office and see what assistance they can provide. Most offices have programs for people in your situation. Also, there are programs that give grant money that you do not have to pay back as long as you successfully pass the courses. You may also want to look into a work study program for the school. This means that you attend school, and you work at the school. You might have to take on a part time job else where for extra income, but if you are willing to make a few sacrifices then I am sure everything will work out.

Well I'm not sure why you feel this way, there are all kinds of student loans and grants available. Go to your schools financial aid office and fill out all the paperwork. Get a part time job or even full time. You don't need to worry about your mother until you actually have to worry about her. Anyone can go to college, money never has to be a reason why you can't.

check with the financial aid office at the college. They have loans and grant programs. Just try not to accept so much that you have a hard time paying it off when you graduate, and be sure to make overpayment when you can afford it. I borrowed about $12,000 in two years and it cost me $33,000 to pay it off this year. With a good job that medical technology will help prepare you for, you should get a good salary to start off, and there will be a good repayment possibility for you. Go for it! Don't be afraid to ask for help finding scholarships for women, or other special scholarships you may qualify for, too! Scholarships and grants you don't have to pay back; loans you do.

you can still go to school, you can if you thin you can.
1. the school offers many scholarships for of course deserving students.
2.there are academic and non academic scholars in schools.
3.if you have the brain to apply for the academic scholarship, take the exams required by the school.
4.if you think, academically, you can't avail for it, then go to the non academic scholarships where you will be ask to work while studying, the working students scheme is one way for you to continue studying even if your parents can't afford to.
5.it's very good to pray, but God wouldn't be happy if you're kneeling down there, but don't do anything.
